@dlowan,
That Occam guy was a pain in the ass. Anyway, I don't think this is an Occam thing. I think this is an eye of the beholder thing. You see a deer with flames. I see a deer with wings. Either way, the sign is goofy. Shouldn't a graphic representation be easy to understand? This sign has two (relatively intelligent) people debating its meaning halfway across the world from each other. As a sign it's a loser. Or as the authors of the book I'm editing would say, it's a looser.

@Roberta,
I think the sign was manipulated -- ie, the wings were drawn on by some whimster. They're a slightly different shade of black, I think.

SENSE? RATIONALITY?

Shocked

Deer me.

"Whimster" is way cool, though.

@dlowan,
Yeah, I like "whimster" too. Can't see any difference in color on the sign.

@Region Philbis,
Well, then, in the infamous words of Emily Latella, "Never mind."

The sign is bogus. My post is bogus. Life is a never-ending series of boguses. Feh and phooey.

That is an example either of truly wondrous serendipity, or photoshop.

I love it.

Actually, it's clearly photoshop.......still....
